If you’re installing the grub in the external hdd, if you’re not using the external hdd, your computer will boot to xp

@ Shane
I still don’t know how to make it check all its driver on bootup.

But here’s a thought, usually most VGA cards can run with vesa driver. So you could edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the vga card to “vesa”. But using this vesa driver you can’t get a 3D rendering.

Another thought is to install all popular VGA drivers, such as ati, fglrx and nvidia. After you boot up in other computer, first you have to go to console mode, edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the VGA driver that match for that computer.

Let me know if this work around can solve your problem.

have successfully installed ubuntu 7.04 onto my 320gb usb hdd and works perfectly on my computer, but the main reason i wanted to do it was so i could run it on any computer i would use.

When I run it on another computer it boots grub and ubuntu perfectly until a screen comes up and say “x server” cant run…blahblahblah.

It says its about video card, does anyone know how to make it check all its drivers on bootup so it can run on multiple computers?
